ASCENSION PARISH.
Admiral Upshur presided at the meeting OF the
organization OF Ascension Parish, which was held
last evening In the church j. st. c. Brooks was
the secretary: The same parties in opposi-
ton that made the election last year OF unusual
interest were out in force last evening but the re-
suit OF the election left the affairs OF the church in
the same hands -, The majority nominated s. B.

church shows that at Easter one year
ago the total floating debt, after de-
or the above items OF Indebtedness ali have been
paid excepting S9347, due n. w. Burchell esq;
$2S2 due the estate of MI. Erben for removing
organ from the old church, and $142 balance due
for keeping organ in repair prior to January /.
1886. To meet these demands the money was OF
necessity borrowed, so that the bulk OF the debt
neved OF all embarrassment, and it is believed
tnaC the whole OF 1t can be arranged within a
very rev months, II not within very weeks. The
VeStry nave adopted measures to effect leans run
ming three years at per cent interest, and have
already succeeded in that object to the extent Of
about two-thirds OF the amount required The
present Indebtedness of the parish. after deduct
Ing available assets is S7,29347 TO pay this debt
IL Is proposed Ito procure from the parishiOners
or three years. as may be their pleasure, payable
quarterly, to the amount OF s. 431 annually or a
sum sufficient to discharge onethird OF the entire
debt each year, thus providing for its extinguish-
ment within three years.
The current expenses Of the church for the year
ending the 31st OF March, 1883, are estimated at
S5,691.42, While an increase in income to at least
5000 Is expected. There Will be surplus OF
some 300: The ladies OF the church have
agreed TO raise the amount expended recently in
the repairing OF the spire.
THE CONTEST IN ST. andrews
divided feeling among the parishOners Of st.
Andrews added more than usual interest to the
election In that parish last evening. There was
large attendance OF members OF the parish. The
rector, Rev josiah b. Perry, presided. There were
two tickets In the field. The one called the srec-
tors ticket" was as follows: Senior warden Arch
ibald I: McCallum; Junior warden, VIM. o. Roome;
vote into vestry, Herbert A. GILL; ChaS. F. Lewis
Oliver DufOur, VIM. NJ. Thompson; vote out OF
veStry, VIM. Gibson, Grenviile Lewis, Frank
Moore JAS. B. Newlfn. The other ticket pre-
Sented by those opposed to the rector
In the policy OF the church, was as follows: Senior
warden, Edwin Harris; junior warden, Geo. Gibson.
Vestrymen:Vote QUIT. Moore, DR.. T. B. Hood,
Jos. Burden, c. B. Beall Vote 1n-Dr. T. B. Hood,
Jos. Burden, w. H. Chase, II. L. Mcqueen. The re
suit was victory for the "rectOrs ticket" There
were 81 votes cast for warden. OF which Messrs.
McCallum and Roome received As. The maJOr1ttes
the same strength was shown by the rectOr'S side.
Mr.. Harris, who was thus defeated as senior war
den has held that Office nearly ever since the par
ish was organized. There was no discussion at the
parishmeeting last night OF the questions which
the two Sides differ. There have been several con-
ferenceS held during the past week, at which the
talking was DONE Last night the only thing done
openly was to vote, though there was considerable
eiectoneer1ng. When the vote was finally an
nounced by the rector he closed the proceedings OF
the evening by Immediately announcing, "Ad-
journment is now In order" The d1ssat-
lsfact1On among the minority with the
rector, as stated by members OF the
minority Is due to tendency on his part to elabo
approaches a high-c church service. This has led
TO differences which have been aggravated by
personal controversies with the record. st.
Andrews parish was formed several years ago by
a number OF members OF the Incarnation parish,
who left that parish account OF the htgh-church
tendencies OF the rector. ST. Andrews has been
